LONDON, July 22 (Xinhua) — British Foreign Secretary David Lammy on Monday condemned the killing of civilians in Gaza and criticized Israel's aid distribution model as "inhumane" after Britain endorsed a joint international statement calling for an end to the conflict.

"I categorically condemn the killing of civilians trying to meet their basic needs," Mr Lammy told MPs in the House of Commons.

"The Israeli government must answer what military justification there can be for strikes that have killed desperate, starving children," he said.

While reaffirming support for Israel's right to security and existence, the minister warned that the country's current actions "cause incalculable damage to Israel's reputation in the world and undermine its long-term security."

Lammy described Israel's recently implemented system of delivering humanitarian aid to Gaza as "inhumane, dangerous and dehumanising to the people of Gaza". He added that it "contradicts long-standing humanitarian principles" by forcing civilians, including children, "to struggle in unsafe conditions for basic necessities".

He also mentioned proposals by Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz, which reportedly included moving the entire Gaza population to Rafah and detaining Palestinians unless they emigrated. “This is a cruel idea that should never happen,” Lammy said. –0–

LOS ANGELES, July 22 (Xinhua) — A passenger jet was forced to make an aggressive maneuver to avoid a collision with a B-52 bomber over the U.S. state of North Dakota last week, multiple media reported on Monday.

The Delta Connection-branded flight, operated by SkyWest Airlines, was en route from Minneapolis to Minot International Airport on Friday. According to the Washington Post, air traffic controllers cleared the plane to land, but a B-52 bomber suddenly appeared on the route, forcing the civilian plane to make a quick go-around.

In a video posted to Instagram and verified by Storyful, the pilot explains to passengers that a B-52 was approaching their plane, the article says. He apologized for the sudden and “aggressive maneuver” that was necessary to avoid a collision. “Nobody told us” about the bomber’s presence, the pilot said.

A U.S. Air Force spokesman told the Minot Daily News that the military is aware of the media reports and is investigating the incident. He confirmed that a B-52 bomber based at Minot Air Force Base, about 20 kilometers north of the airport, was flying over the North Dakota State Fairgrounds Friday night. –0–

LONDON, July 22 (Xinhua) — Twenty-eight countries and the European Union's Commissioner for Equality, Preparedness and Crisis Management issued a joint statement on Monday condemning Israel for the suffering of civilians in Gaza.

"The suffering of civilians in Gaza has reached new depths. We condemn the crumbs that are being sent as aid and the inhumane killing of civilians," the statement said. "It is appalling that more than 800 Palestinians have been killed while asking for aid," the document noted.

"The Israeli government's refusal to provide essential humanitarian assistance to civilians is unacceptable. Israel must uphold its obligations under international humanitarian law," the statement added, calling for an immediate end to the war in Gaza.

The parties also called on the Israeli government “to immediately lift restrictions on aid and urgently allow the UN and humanitarian NGOs to carry out their life-saving work safely and effectively.”

Signed by the foreign ministers of Britain, France, Italy, Canada, Japan and other Western countries, the statement also opposes any attempts to change the territorial or demographic status of the occupied Palestinian territories.

In response, the Israeli Foreign Ministry dismissed the statement as “out of touch with reality” and accused Hamas of being “the only party responsible for the lack of an agreement on the release of hostages and a ceasefire.” –0–

WASHINGTON, July 21 (Xinhua) — The Donald Trump administration has released more than 230,000 pages of documents related to the assassination of civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr., U.S. Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard said on social media on Monday.

She said the documents were released after questions about the murder had been swept under the rug for nearly 60 years.

“The documents include details of the FBI’s investigation into M.L. King’s murder, discussions of potential leads, internal FBI memos detailing the investigation, information about a former cellmate of James Earl Ray who said he discussed the alleged murder plan with Ray, and more,” Gabbard wrote.

On January 23, three days after taking office, D. Trump signed an order to declassify all remaining documents related to the assassinations of former President John F. Kennedy, his brother Robert, and M.L. King.

M. L. King is one of the most prominent figures in the American civil rights movement. He is widely known for his commitment to nonviolent campaigns against racial segregation and inequality, and for his famous “I Have a Dream” speech. –0–
